1. Sooooo, he can't even vote for himself in the GE?

[Raven123]

2. If that is true I wonder how many states are okay with non-residents running for office

[OnDoutside]

3. Did he vote in the primary ?

[Nevilledog]

4. Don't know.

6. Thought he voted in the 2020 election in PA using his in-laws address

8. Isn't that illegal?

[Deminpenn]

14. Yes it is

Here's a link, but doesn't say if he actually voted in PA after he registered

21. He would be a fool to vote in PA...it was sure to come out.

[onecaliberal]

9. I believe that is illegal.

[Demsrule86]

7. Of course not...if he is registered in Jersey.

[OnDoutside]

11. Well worth playing that up in ads for sure.

[Deminpenn]

16. Fetterman already has signs and gear saying

"Fetterman for PA. Oz for NJ".

[OnDoutside]

27. I saw the car signs which weren't great imo.

5. Geez! To Elmer Bumbercluck in East Podunk PA, Dr. Oz is a FERNer-ferner!

Is he in the country legally?

[Polybius]

10. Yes

He was born Cleveland, Ohio in 1960.

[OnDoutside]

12. Well, SOME people say he was born in Turkey....I don't know, I'm

just asking questions....

[Demsrule86]

22. I guess his parents were from Turkey as he has dual citizenship and votes in Turkish elections.

He is also some obscure sect of Muslim...which wouldn't matter for Democrats...but for Republicans, I think it matters. Personally, I would not vote for anyone who has dual citizenship for the Senate. And I am a Democrat.

15. It should be illegal to carpetbag a senate post

The entire fucking concept of REPRESENTATION is so that you REPRESENT your state's constituents, not someone else's state's constituents. Fuck.

Who am I kidding? They represent the corporations who have bought them, not We The People.

17. Yes his permanent residence is in NJ, but he also registered to vote in PA

... by using his in-law's address to prove residence. We were told that Oz voted in PA (not NJ) in 2020 but I haven't seen any proof of that. It's possible that he might have used a mailed ballot. I hope someone can find out the truth of this.

It's possible to have residences in more than one state, and it's not illegal to register to vote in different states. However Americans are only permitted to vote once per election. If Dr. Oz is voting in PA then he needs to cancel his NJ voter registration. We need to know if he's got a Pennsylvania drivers license? If yes, and if his license says he is a PA resident, then he's considered eligible to vote in PA even though he owns a home in New Jersey.

If Oz doesn't have a PA drivers license then he's trying to pull a fast one on us.

[Deminpenn]

24. He should be paying taxes in PA, too

At least for the days he's in the state.

18. Shades of Rick Santorum and family really living in Virginia.

He owned a house near Pittsburg but it was uninhabited-- not even curtains in the windows.

19. IOKIYAR

25. Love love love the bottom pic.....lol

[ZonkerHarris]

20. Will PA give NJ an extra Senator? If so they are a generous people.

[Rstrstx]

23. But he can see Pennsylvania from his house

[NCLefty]

26. Is the dual-citizenship/voting an actual problem?

If not, why do people keep bringing it up? It seems xenophobic.
